This is a good thread:

R34GTT-R: boy, you've almost owned the lot in the Nissan range there!! @@

If we talk about previous cars rather than "first"). the Sigma, the R31 Skyline and the R33 gts-t. Not bad for 8 years or something of driving to own only 3 cars.

Ever since I saw the quality in both the features, power capabilities, and driveability of the R31 Skyline, i just had to have the ultimate, the Skyline turbo :D

Next car will definitely be a Nissan (still planning the 180sx or the R32 for next 12-18 months), wouldn't even think of looking somewhere else to be honest. Ultimate car: R32 GTR.. which i should have in a couple of years i hope after i have my house sorted. Never used to like them but i've come around :D

actually i forgot I actually purchased my very very first car from my old man for $200... it was a Subaru sherpa...

1982 665 cc Carb powered beast... couldn't make it up a 30 degree incline with a loaded car...

My first car, which is the one i'm driving now, 1990 Nissal Pulsar Hatch, GL. 67 ball ripping fly wheel kw's! :P Is a manual, and if i turn really hard in the wet around a corner the whole car shudders, and sorta understeers (i think) pretty fun! 5th gear at 60km/h :P

Next car.... R34 GT-T oooooo baby. But if i get a property, wait a few years and skip straight to a R34 GTR. Hahaha, 67kw pulsar to 280kw GTR :bahaha: i envisage a few problems :P

cheers.

Ambz: hehehe...tell me u didn't really own a gemmi and u were just joking... plz :P

dont laugh that car was preety quick, but rust started taking over and it just got 2 old.

What u doing to your car?

all u guys have had minimal about of cars

i killed 2 cars with in 4 month sof my P;s

and then went threw 3 other cars b4 my skyline .....

goo dto knock a few car sunder ur belt b4 u get a nice classy car i recon

now im sick of classy and need western suberbs styles VL!!!! need that smell of blow head gaskets again i recon.. mmmmmmmmm yummyyy

the first car i had was the same as daves i think...HQ premier. omg thats a heavy car to get airborn(sp)

but i had to love the manual 3 speed column shift, the high end speeds of 130km(down hill and tail wind)...the bench seats, front and back, and the crappy "poo brown" colour...ah the memories...

but the best feature of this beut was that you could fit 2 people in the boot comfortably...and the rust holes ment they wouldnt suffocate!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
